Summary
The board approved a recommendation from the finance director to grant $380 to each eligible homeowner applicant (prorated for partial ownership) from a $75,000 voter-approved fund; 196 applicants were identified as eligible.
The Board of Select Persons approved a distribution from a voter-funded homeowners program previously authorized in 2025, voting to grant $380 to each eligible applicant with full ownership or life use of a property and to prorate the benefit for applicants with less than 100% ownership.

Trish moved to approve the assessor and finance director's recommendation; Bob seconded the motion. The motion carried on the floor with a vote recorded as 7-0.
The board authorized the assessor's office to apply the benefits as recommended; the motion and vote concluded the agenda item without further amendment.
